KolourPaint doesn't support layers, so when you paste something, put it into place and deselect it then it is written to the bitmap immediately.
Use GIMP if you need to use layers. Tons of YT videos on how to do it (ex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egyrVoXY7Ss )
Krita might work too if we want to stay within this community's topic area.
If we don't, there is also the more lightweight Pinta.
last time I checked, Pinta didn't support layers either and had the feature set almost identical to Kolourpaint's, so it's just moving away from a Qt app to a GTK one for no gain.
Pinta absolutely does support layers and has quite a few features that KolourPaint doesn't.
